sassi-HOLDER.

` Application ined July 2a, 1919.

To all when?, t may conce/ra:

Be it known that I, Pn'rni: Canon 13A LHnsn, a citizen of United States, residingl at rllaylor Springs, county of lllontgomery, and State oi lllinois, have invented certain new and usel'ul Improvements in Sash-llolders, oli which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object the pro vision of means whereby a sash may be held in an adjusted position relative to the window f aine in a secure manner.

A still further object is to provide means whereby the sash is locked when in a closed position, preventing the raising of the same except it be released from the interior.

These objects are attained by the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which- Figure 1 is a front elevational view showing a conventional type of window frame and indicating the application of the invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged 4fragmentary side elevational view looking from the inner side of the frame.

Fig. 3 is a side elevational and sectional view showing a corner of the Window frame and sash, containing one of the holders, the cover being removed.

Fig. 4c is a similar view of the same, but showing the detent in a retracted position, and 4 Fig. 5 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view taken in a plane at right angles to Figs. 3 and 4f.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the numeral indicates an ordinary form o'l window frame, the same containing sashes l1 and 12 slidably engaged therein, the sashes carrying ordinary transparent panes 13 as usual.

A longitudinally extending groove or re` cess 14, is formed in the inner surface oi the side frame element 10 in which is set a metallic plate 15, the same covering a deeper recess 16, and held by a plurality of screws or like fastening means 17.

Formed near the bottom of the plate 15 is a circular opening 18, while thereabove are a plurality of similar circular openings 19 and extending from each of the openings 19 are slits 20 arranged substantially in paralicl, the metal between the slits being turned Specification of `Letters Patent.

angularly outwardly into prongs 21, extending-into the recess 1G.

Secured upon the sash 12 is a plate 22, held by 'astenings passing through the openings 23, and lixed upon the plate 22 is a rectangular i'raine having upper and lower walls, respectively 2&1 and 25, joined by a vertical upper wall 26, and normally covered by a plate 27. The upper wall 24 has an inwardly turned extension 28, bent downwardly to the plate 22, as at 29, and then outwardly, forming a foot 30, secured by rivets 31 to the bottom plate, these ele ments acting as a guide or slideway for a bar 32 slidable therein the outer end o1 the bar carrying a detent 33 having a beveled upper surface 34C adapted to make Contact with the angularly disposed elements 21, as the window is raised, pressing bar 32 rear ward against a flat spring 35 secured by' rivets 3G to the vertical wall 26.

llotatably mounted in the casing is a stem 37, the same projecting through the cover plate 27 against which is disposed the en larged head 28 from which extends a finger grip 39, so that the stern may be readily rotated.

Extending radially upward from the stem, within the casing, is an arm the same being engageable within a recess 4:1, formed in the inner edge of the bar 32; thus as the linger grip 39, is rotated so that the arm 4() makes contact within the recess it moves the bar 32 rearwardly against the spring 35, and retracts the beveled detent 34C, from the opening in which it is engaged, permitting the window sash to be raised or lowered in the ordinary manner.

W'hen the detent 811 is engaged in the lowermost opening 18, the sash is locked in an efficient manner except by operating the extending knob or finger grip 39, from the inner side oil the sash; lhowever when the detent is in any of' the several openings 19, the window may be raised, the angular' surface 34, coming in contact with the beveled surfaces of the prongs 21, so as to press the bar 32 rearwardly, but obviously the sash is held from moving down due to the Contact of the extending detent with the bottom of the openings 19.

From the foregoing it will be seen that an efficient device for holding a sash in adjustment has been described, and the same is easily operated. in making adjustment, .and

further, when the sash is in the lowermost position it is locked until the knob has been manipulated.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- Y A sash lock comprisinga casing adapted to be secured to a window sash, a recessed bolt slidably arranged within said casing, a locking member on said bolt adapted to project into holes in a window frame, a beveled face at the outer end of said locking member, beveled prongs formed by the material of the frame between the holes in the same adapted to be engaged by the beveled tare of said locking member to facilitate the upward movement of the bolt and sash, a spring secured within said easing and adapted to press said bolt into engagement with one oi said holes, a stem rotatably mounted iii said easing, an arm extending radially upward from said stem and adapted to engage within the recess of said bolt.: and a finger grip on said stem ioi` operating the lock.

In testimony whereofl I have alixed my signature.

PETER CAROL PACHESA.
